    Guide discouraged questions and interactions with us. I don't think he liked any of us. On the other hand, England was everything we hoped to see.

    Tour director Phil and coach driver Lee were great. Site visits were good. Hotel accommodations in Cardiff (next to noisy bar) was about a 3 star hotel. Communication about pickup time from hotel on last morning was incorrect. Three other passengers also had issues regarding this issue. Either incorrect information or none at all. Our information was incorrect.

    The tour as a whole was great. One thing we did not like was staying in a hotel that was not near the town and having to dine in hotel without a choice. Also we thought that we spent too much time in the coach and not enough time at the destination. Along the way to destinations the highways were not conducive to looking at things along the roadways. When we did Ireland with CIE we took back roads and this was much more enjoyable for sightseeing!

    Everyting about the tour was excellent. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that we never received our welcome back-pack with all the accessories of name tags, luggage tags, adaptors etc. which was part of the contracted tour price!! We asked the tour quide but he did not know why. And we filled in the evaluation form at the end of the tour and stated the same thing! When we will get what we paid for ??
